Re: Releasing 3.6.0 - ALPHA or not ?

I like the idea of keeping the naming simple and getting rid of 3.6.x. And
it seems reasonable
to me to keep beta for a while before we make it a 'stable' version even
though for the features
or fixes contributed from different individuals/orgs may have run on their
prod for a while.

I would suggest to cut 3.7.0 for the next branch, and only bump major
version if there is a real
big and non-compatible change we'd like to release.

Best,
Fangmin

Re: Releasing 3.6.0 - ALPHA or not ?

Posted by Jordan Zimmerman <jo...@jordanzimmerman.com>.
The 3.5.x-ALPHA scheme was extremely confusing for ZK's user base (doubly so given how long it remained in alpha then beta). Many companies used it anyway so adding the qualifier didn't serve much purpose. Better to leave it off and communicate known issues through standard channels.
